Ruggers ready for Ivies in Ithaca

|

It was a typical Dartmouth spring day, cold and windy with a slight chance of sun. And yet, the fans still flocked to Sachem to see the Dartmouth men's rugby team fine tune its collective skill in the last intra-squad scrimmage before next week's Ivy League tournament. The Big Green ruggers, fresh off their spring tour in Spain, looked to return to the same form that has allowed them to win the last four Ivy titles. "We didn't make the NCAAs this year," captain Matthew Sullivan '02 said. "So the Ivies is our big Spring tournament, the last time for seniors to shine.

Women's lax wins wet and wild tussle with Terriers

|

After playing three straight games on the road, the 18th-ranked Dartmouth women's lacrosse team was undoubtedly glad to be home for Tuesday's game against the Terriers of Boston University. "It's been a tiring couple of weeks, especially with that long ride to Cornell," midfielder Alison Moulin '02 said. The game against BU was tiring in its own right, but when it was over, Coach Amy Patton's squad emerged with a 13-9 victory. The game opened with a light rain falling on Scully-Fahey field, but the Big Green women were creating a formidable storm in their own right.

|

A word of caution to the rest of the Ivy League: the Christine Quattrocchi '03 of old is back. Quattrocchi, who was the league's best pitcher in 2000 before struggling last season, continued her strong 2002 campaign yesterday afternoon, working seven scoreless innings as the Dartmouth softball team came back from a 1-0 deficit to win an 11-inning thriller against Rhode Island.

Carly Haggard '03 named 1st-team All-American

|

Although the Dartmouth women's hockey team failed to reach the Frozen Four, Carly Haggard '03 represented the team at the tournament hosted by the University of New Hampshire as one of three finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Award. The fifth annual honor given to the best women's hockey player in the country was presented to Northeastern's Brooke Whitney, whose 32 goals and 24 assists also made her the most valuable player in the ECAC East. Haggard will not exactly leave her junior year empty-handed, as she was decorated with ECAC North and co-Ivy League player of the year honors. "It's a great honor to even be nominated," said the gracious forward from Port Alberni, B.C. "At the beginning of the year, I didn't dream of being in the top 10.

Struggling hoopsters hope to declaw Bears, Bulldogs

|

The Dartmouth men's basketball team heads down to Providence and New Haven for its final two showdowns of the season this weekend. This evening the Big Green (2-10, 9-16) plays the Bears of Brown University (6-6, 15-10), a team that features freshman standout point guard Jason Forte and Ivy League player-of-the-year candidate Earl Hunt. Saturday night's game against the Yale Bulldogs (9-3, 17-9) provides the Big Green ballers with an opportunity to play the spoiler in a tightly contested race for the Ivy title, as Yale vies with both Penn and Princeton for first-place honors on the final weekend of the regular season. Coming into tonight's match-up at the Pizzitola Center on Brown's campus, the Big Green carries the unfortunate burden of a four-game losing streak.
